Rendered video is randomly zoomed in

Puffin wrote on 4/27/2024, 9:50 AM

Hello guys, I had been using Vegas 14 for ages with no issues, recently upgraded to VEGAS Pro 21.0.

Short version:
My video will look great in preview, but after rendering, random sections are zoomed in. If I render the same project again, the random zooming will happen on other clips.

Explanation:
In the preview, I set the zoom to 100%, where the image fills the screen properly, with the original resolution being around 393%.

I can render the same video again and again, and the result will always be different. Despite looking perfect in the editor and in the preview, once rendered, the video will be zoomed in on some random clips, but not on others. If I re-render the video, I get a different result where other clips from the project are zoomed in. It's always zoomed in to the top left corner of the clip.

As a hypothetical example, say it's a head-shot video of me speaking, the entire video will be unedited, you'll see me fully for about 2 minutes, then if the video cuts to a new clip (to edit out a bad take), and suddenly the video will zoom into my ear for about 30 seconds, then you'll see the rest of my face again after the next cut. If I render the video again, it'll happen to a completely different clip.
I noticed it happening on my YouTube video here,

If you skip to 19:10 you'll see the figure spinning around, then suddenly at 19:15 the video is zoomed in so much that you can't see the figure, then on the next clip it's back to normal. I checked my project, and it's not zoomed in. There is an edit in this video, but please bare in mind that it does occur when there are no cuts in the video too. I should also say, it's definitely NOT zoomed in on the editor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My specs:
I edit 8k videos and use proxy for the editing process, with the project set to 4K in Sony Vegas Pro 21.0. I'm using a Windows 11 PC, with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX4060 graphics card. I have paid for Vegas, it's not pirated. I've Googled it and searched the subreddit, but it doesn't seem like anyone has had a similar issue.

@Ram-Zeevi Try uninstalling 21.315 and install build 208. You can download it from here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-where-can-i-download-vegas-pro-and-other-vegas-software--104782/

What i found is that the sfvp0 files were created with this issue, I am trying to recreate them an then try to render.

Don't recreate proxy files that you don't need, just delete them.

it will not open my project, it says it was created with a newer version. I can not recreate the project!?

@Ram-Zeevi Your post doesn't appear to have anything to do with the topic of this thread which is "Rendered video is randomly zoomed in".

Please start a new thread with your problem.

I am having this exact same issue. I have a mix of 1080 and 4K footage on a 1080 project timeline. Everything looks correct when watching on the timeline, but as soon as I go to render out a 1080 mp4, random shots will be zoomed in to the top left corner. Every time I render, it happens to a different shot, though I do notice it ONLY seems to be happening to the 4K footage. The only workaround I have at the moment (cause I need to get this done) is to change the project to 4K and render out a 4K mp4 instead of 1080. Seems to me there is a rendering issue with 4K footage not being properly recognized when rendering to a lower resolution, resulting in the images being zoomed in.

I have the exact same issue. Vegas 21 315.

I find that if I delete all the sfvp0 files and disable video proxies (Options -> Preferences -> Automatically create video proxies for greater than 4K resolution media = Off) it usually resolves the problem.

This may be fixed in build 194 of VEGAS Pro 22. Otherwise try 21.208 or avoid proxies.

I am having the same problem. Random clips are zoomed into top left corner of the clips upon rendering.

Magix should fix this please with a new Build.
